It wasn't just this one pirate who was curious about Mr. 3's appearance on the execution platform; everyone else was equally surprised.
[Pirate 1: Could it be another arrangement by that Crocodile, just like Mr. 1 earlier?]
[Pirate 2: Whether it is or not, this Mr. 3 being up there now is completely useless anyway. Sengoku isn't someone a mere Mr. 3 can handle.]
[Pirate 3: True. So how will Straw Hat and the others deal with this next?]
Everyone continued watching the video, awaiting the subsequent developments.
〖After regaining consciousness, Mr. 3 first saw Luffy in front of him and asked, puzzled, "Straw Hat?"
Luffy was also confused to see him. "3? Why are you here? And dressed as an executioner?"
Before Mr. 3 could answer, Sengoku's attack arrived, making him scream in panic.
Seeing this, Luffy told him to quickly use Candle Wall to protect Ace.
He himself used "Gum-Gum Giant Balloon," transforming into a large balloon to try to mitigate Sengoku's attack.
Meanwhile, Mr. 3 hastily created a Candle Wall to protect himself and Ace.
However, Sengoku's power was clearly not something Luffy alone could resist. After a few punches, Luffy was overwhelmed and began deflating.
Simultaneously, the entire execution platform collapsed under the tremendous impact.
At the critical moment, Mr. 3 used his ability to recreate a Seastone key.〗
[Pirate 1: ???]
[Pirate 2: He can actually do that? Just directly recreate a key?]
[Pirate 3: But how did he do it? The Seastone key must be exactly the same to work.]
[Pirate 4: He only glanced at it once earlier, right? And he could replicate it just like that?]
[Pirate 5: It might not even be accurate. Maybe this key can't actually unlock Fire Fist Ace's shackles.]
[Pirate 6: I think Straw Hat might really save Fire Fist this time.]
[Pirate 7: Then I think these two brothers will probably die together.]
On the Sky Screen, debates erupted over whether Luffy could save Ace.
Meanwhile, the video continued playing.
〖Looking at the deflated, smaller Luffy before him, Mr. 3 smiled self-deprecatingly.
"If I said I came here to mourn a fallen comrade, would you laugh at me?"
As he spoke, images of Bon Kurei flashed through his mind.
Luffy responded loudly:
"How could I ever laugh at you!"
Hearing Luffy's reply, Mr. 3 smiled and threw the key to him.
"Then hurry up and save your brother, Straw Hat."
"Got it!"
Luffy quickly caught it.
Simultaneously, the Marines launched fierce cannon fire toward the three.
Under the intense attack, their figures were completely obscured.〗
[Urouge the Mad Monk: Did Straw Hat succeed? Or was he directly taken out?]
[Jewelry Bonney: The attack is too intense! Can't see anything at all!]
[Big News Morgans: Who won? Can Straw Hat really save Fire Fist Ace? If he succeeds, that would be huge news!]
Everyone was eager to know who won.
Would Fire Fist Ace be successfully rescued, or would all three be eliminated? They all awaited the outcome.
Just then, the smoke in the video gradually cleared, and the final result began to reveal itself.
〖Amid the artillery fire, a broken shackle suddenly fell from the sky.
The next instant, blazing flames rose, and a white-bearded skull emblem appeared before everyone.
"Really... it's always been like this since the beginning. Luffy, you're always so willful and never listen to me."
As Fire Fist Ace's voice rang out, a path of flames appeared through the cannon fire.
Ace, carrying Luffy and Mr. 3, successfully escaped the artillery barrage.〗
[Little Oars Jr.: Great! Ace is saved!]
[Diamond Jozu: As expected of Ace's brother! Didn't disappoint Pops' expectations!]
[Vista: Well done, Straw Hat!]
[Whitebeard Edward Newgate: Gurarararara, Ace's brother, you're quite remarkable too! Really similar to that guy Ace!]
[Charlotte Perospero: Lick~ Straw Hat actually succeeded! Truly unbelievable, lick~]
[Charlotte Katakuri: If Straw Hat can grow stronger, he might become a respectable opponent.]
[Big Mom Charlotte Linlin: Mamamama, Sengoku, seems you've gotten old too! Let a brat rescue someone right from under your nose!]
[Kaido: Looks like you should retire soon, Urororororo!]
[Scratchmen Apoo: the Marines had such an obvious advantage earlier! Is there about to be a major reversal? Will the Whitebeard side win in the end?]
[Basil Hawkins: According to divination results, the Marines still seem to have the upper hand. Why is that? Do the Marines still have a trump card unused?]
[Jewelry Bonney: Stop with your divinations already! That thing is never accurate!]
[Trafalgar D. Water Law: No, I actually think he has a point. Straw Hat-ya, even though you've successfully saved Fire Fist, escaping from Marine Headquarters probably won't be that easy.]
[Eustass Kid: What's so hard about it? Just fight your way out! Now that Fire Fist Ace has regained his mobility, the Marines won't be able to restrain them anymore!]
[Gecko Moria: You're thinking too simply! I think Straw Hat still has a tough battle ahead!]
[Donquixote Doflamingo: Fufufufu, although they seemed to break into Marine Headquarters easily, getting in is one thing—getting out might not be so simple.]
[Pirate 1: What's going on? Why does everyone seem pessimistic about Straw Hat's escape? Will they face even greater difficulties trying to leave Marine Headquarters later?]
[Pirate 2: Could it all be for nothing in the end? Not only Fire Fist Ace, but even Straw Hat dies on the battlefield?]
[Dadans the Bandit: Bastards! What are you saying? Luffy has already saved Ace now! Don't talk nonsense! And you, Luffy, don't listen to their nonsense! I believe in you! The you in the video will definitely rescue Ace successfully, and the real you will definitely succeed too!]
[Straw Hat Luffy: Yeah! I will definitely succeed in saving Ace!]
